The kindle version explained
Someone complained about the kindle version of this book. This is a scanned book. It is converted to a kindle version through a process that tries to recognize
...
letters. It rarely recognizes them well. If you want a copy to look the same, download the pdf version. That's like a xerox copy of the book.

1879 McGuffey Primer
The Kindle edition of this book is horrible. While the pictures are there, but the formatting is way off and there are countless typos. This is wonderful
...
teaching tool and I would like to see the Kindle edition fixed.

This version of the McGuffey Primer was my first reading lesson, had while sitting on my Grandpa Stricklin's lap in 1952 or 53. I still remember the first
...
lesson: "The cat. The rat. The cat has the rat." What a remarkably practical first lesson! And how much more interesting than the "See Dick. See Jane." which was the new reader of the early 50s. I can recall feeling sorry for my cousins having the bland new Dick & Jane, while my school was still using the Alice & Jerry readers from the 1930s: books which were, perhaps, the social realist reading series - & with far superior illustrations. The classic McGuffey readers of the 1880s & 1890s, which my grandfather taught with in three different one-room schools, were not actually written by W'm. McGuffey, but by writers hired by their publishers. The 1st through 8th Readers included literary excerpts, poetry, and historical accounts. Although I was born in a hospital in Wheeling, W.Va., my parents took me home to West Alexander, PA, which was W'm. McGuffey's birthplace.

Childrens reading material
I didn't exactly know what I was downloading. The book turns out to be a children's reading book complete with lessons. The child learns up to six new
...
words with each lesson.
